Book III Sequel - The Promise of Christmas - The Promise Kept (soon to be released) Peace and Prosperity is enjoyed at long last in Tobolsk. Traders from far and near make annual treks to the north to trade for the best fur, using not only precious metals like gold and silver but also rare gems and crafted items of every kind, and for anyone willing to spend time browsing the market square. More important, and now widely known from afar, is the annual Christmas Celebration in Tobolsk where the story of the trip to Bethlehem is told while children gather around to hear of the coming of Angels announcing the birth of the Christ child, and the journey made by Prince Ezra and the Magi battling thieves and roman soldiers to fulfill their destiny, and when it was over, gifts were exchanged by everyone while merry songs are sung by all. It was at one of these festive moments that a traveler from the homeland of the Prince gave news of Jesus and the mission he had started to give hope to all for peace and happiness. It was then that Nikko who was a young boy when he met Jesus in the temple of Jerusalem, decided it was time for him to fulfill his destiny.

Book excerpt: When will Nikko begin to use his given name of Nicholas, and use the Sleigh to bring joy and happiness to children all over the world? Was it just a dream that he met God and was told that in time he will know why, and how, his childhood friend Jesus will bring peace and joy to everyone who believed in his teachings? With the passing of his Grandfather King Caspar, his father Prince Ezra takes over the Kingdom of Arabia as King Ezra and Nikko as Crown Prince Nicholas. Life in the palace becomes tedious and boring without battles to win and land to conquer. He is troubled by recurring dreams of zipping through the night sky with the sleigh and reindeer. It seemed like a dream when it happened, and it's been more than 20 years since he met Herald's father who he called God, in a place where time stood still and where angels lived, high above Tobolsk. Is this the time when Nikko is supposed to use the sleigh and reveal it to the world, or must he wait for Herald to tell him? Or maybe it would be his friend Jesus who gave his carpenter tools and wood to build the sleigh who will tell him? Jesus telling him would be the most logical person since it was he that knew about building it and that it could fly. But how will he find Jesus to ask him? These are questions that Nikko doesn't have answers for. Herald and Ivan have managed to keep the magical sleigh a secret and have it hidden in Herald's cave. However, while the sleigh is hidden away in a large secret chamber of the cave, only known to Herald, there is clear evidence that it is kept clean and polished by someone other than Herald. When Ivan questions Herald about it, it only allows a more mysterious response from Herald, saying it is the little cave dwellers who do it for him. Ivan wonders who they could be since Hannah and he were known to be the last descendants of the ancient cave dwellers. Who are they, and how do they know where it is, and have access to it? The mystery unfolds even more when Nikko returns to Tobolsk with his family and discovers the hidden chamber and evidence of the little cave dwellers.

Book excerpt: Allison was sure God would save her marriage and her husband—but neither has been saved yet. What has become of the promise Allison once believed in? Tony Kavanagh had been Allison’s dream-come-true. They were in love within days, engaged within weeks, married and pregnant within a year. Her cup bubbled over with joy . . . but years later, that joy was extinguished by unexpected trials. The day Allison issued her husband an ultimatum, she thought it might save him. She never expected he would actually leave. She was certain God had promised healing—but it became clear she’d misunderstood. Now, living in the quiet mountain cabin she inherited from her Great Aunt Emma, Allison must come to terms with her grief and figure out how to adapt to small-town life. But when she finds a wedding dress and a collection of journals in Emma’s attic, a portrait of her aunt emerges that takes Allison completely by surprise: a portrait of a heartbroken woman surprisingly like herself. As Allison reads the incredible story of Emma’s life in the 1920s and 1930s, she is forced to ask a difficult question: Has she really surrendered every piece of her life to the Lord? Drawing from her own heart-wrenching story of redemption, A Promise Kept is Robin Lee Hatcher’s emotionally charged thanksgiving to a God who answers prayers—in His own time and His own ways. “A beautiful, heart-touching story of God’s amazing grace and how He can restore and make new that which was lost.” — Francine Rivers, New York Times bestselling author Sweet inspirational romance Full-length stand-alone novel Includes discussion questions for book clubs and a note to readers from the author

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each Christmas we are given a promise from heaven. And each year on earth we make promises to each other. This is a story about how a promise from one person to another shows us the true meaning of faith, remembrance, and love. Seven years ago Gloria endured a family tragedy that almost shook her faith entirely. Each Christmas she places a card in an envelope on her tree, restating a promise she made to her husband before he died. Now, having moved from her small town and all the painful memories it held, she is building a life by caring for people in need. Whether it's a young mother who can't pay her electric bill or a family who needs some extra food, Gloria always finds a way. Miriam is a thorn in Gloria's side. Miriam is a constantly critical, disapproving neighbor who looks with suspicion at all the good things Gloria does. When a twist of fate makes them roommates instead of neighbors, it's the ultimate test of patience and faith. Chaz has a good job as head of security at Wilson's Department Store, but each night he returns home to an empty apartment. He longs for a wife and family of his own but realizes that the life choices he's made have alienated him. He befriends a young boy whose mother has fallen on hard times, giving him a chance to have a life he thought impossible. In The Christmas Promise, the lives of these characters collide and we learn that even as we move ahead, the past is never far behind. And when we are forgiven much, we love much. In this warmly humorous and deeply poignant story, we are reminded that the Christmas Promise is the promise of second chances.
